🔍 Good news for startups: consumer-price growth is slowing

Recent data shows that price growth for consumer goods in the U.S. decelerated in October — for example, the increase in prices of durable and personal goods dropped to about 0.22% month-on-month, down from 0.48% the month before. Baton Rouge Business Report. While inflation remains a concern, this easing gives some breathing room to consumers, businesses and especially early-stage ventures.


💡 Why this matters for startups (and for PitchFund’s founders)

  • With slower inflation, consumer spending power stabilizes — meaning more predictable demand for new products and services.

  • Cost pressures on businesses may ease slightly (at least in terms of input inflation), allowing startups to focus growth efforts rather than just price-shocks.

  • Investors often favour ventures that build during times of relative stability rather than full-on shock mode — this environment offers that opportunity.


🚀 How PitchFund helps you capitalise on this moment: At PitchFund, we’re committed to helping founders of startups who are ready to scale smartly — not just quickly. In this context of easing price growth:

  • We support you in building business models grounded in value and demand, rather than chasing hype.

  • We connect you with funding partners who understand that stable cost/rate environments offer strong growth foundations.

  • We help you position your startup as ready to perform in a more predictable market — which is increasingly appealing to investors.


✅ Bottom line: Slowing consumer-price growth isn’t just macro-economics—it’s a signal for founders. It means there’s a window to build, innovate and scale with less volatility. At PitchFund, we believe the startups that use this window wisely will be ahead of the curve.
